The snow is still hanging around, and expected to be joined by more snow from a two day blizzard forecasted to start sometime Tuesday and continue on until at least Wednesday.

Darrel Hinkle is preparing for the blizzard by spreading hay around for the cattle to use as bedding. He has also lined up hay to feed in case the snow is too deep to get to the silage pile.

Just a few short weeks ago, 102 year old E.E. Hinkle had to be begged and cajoled in order to get him to eat anything. These days however, E.E. has been eating anything and everything that tickles his fancy. On top of a "Good breakfast" and dinner, he has been eating 4 puddings a day. He used to have to be lead to the table too. These days, he just goes to the fridge and chows down. It is not know how much the old boy weighs, but the way he's been going at it, he just might get back up to his fighting weight of 172 pounds before we know it.

Sunday Night, Harold Hinkle called his nephew, Terry Kennedy. He wanted to see if George and Mavis Kennedy had made it to Terry and Susan Kennedy's home in Quemado, New Mexico. Indeed they had, and just in time for a deluge of rain. Harold told them about the snow and about things around the Ponderosa and all.

Seems the most exciting thing around there was a disagreement about what to call evening vittles. Susan asked what everyone wanted for dinner. George said that he wanted supper, having already had dinner six hours ago. Well, that's what Terry gets for marrying a city gal.
